completely let down

I will continue to express the dissatisfaction with this lawyer. Completely unprofessional. Kept calling, texting, emailing with no response. When he did he would reassure me the case was moving forward. Two years later I tried communicating due to the fact my case time limitation. His dad assured me... that Evan would call…. Three weeks went by, what a clown! Got advice from another attorney stating I had a strong winning case but I would need to have this fool release the case, guess what? He agreed and said he would send me the release, you guessed, still waiting ( months later). Stay away from anything associated with Evan Elan- simply put the worst attorney I’ve dealt with.

It's not hard to choose when Evan Elan is a choice

Mr. Elan was the third lawyer to whom I spoke and rises above the others with his insights, intuitive questions and knowledge of current law. He effectively told me bluntly--honestly--"you don't have a case." Then he continued to offer advice and sympathy for my non-case. He invested time into someon...e who had very little to offer back and demonstrated that Shakespeare was NOT entirely wrong when he said, "First, kill all the lawyers!" Evan Elan deserves to be in a separate class. Thank you for your help. You are a Good Samaritan.

Partnership and Employment Agreement

Evan was extremely helpful in securing me the best partnership and employment agreement possible for my financial services company. He carefully reviewed the documents and suggested changes that have since turned out to be very wise. I especially valued his strategic advice during the negotiation pro...cess. Highly recommend and will use again.

Excellent Customer Service and Professionalism

Evan was the consummate professional. He evaluated my contract and offered me proper advice to help me get more than what I had originally asked for. He was quick to respond to my questions and I would recommend him to my friends.

I can't recommend Evan Elan Highly Enough

I reached out to Mr. Elan when my business was issued a Hearing for a Temporary Restraining Order and an immediate injunction from my unruly next door neighbor. Evan's advice was quick. effective, and straight to the point. He was intricate in my opportunity to keep my business open while we battled ...for our livelihood. Largely due to Mr. Elan we won our case and our business was able to continue functioning as is. I cannot recommend Mr. Elan highly enough to anyone looking for a straight forward, no nonsense, honest attorney.
